Hyped for this one. I doubt it will find its public (no action no ecchi no harem no school life = most anime watchers are not interested, + the synopsis can be misleading enough to actually make those who could have liked this title avoid it) but it's really nice to see that title getting an anime. To think that this title was almost cancelled before the third volume, so much happened since then.

Here is what I posted months ago about that title

Spoiler for More in depth description-most of those infos are in the prologue:

"It's about a fantasy world where humanity was fighting all the other races. Humanity was using "heroes" who had sacred swords with very specific technology. Those swords allowed the human race, considered as one of the weakest, to actually stand above others. The main char was one of the heroes who went to the last battle against the stellar God-who was leading the other races-. When he wasn't fighting, he was the "father" of an orphanage (a normal one on earth).
They won, but the heroes are pretty much wiped out with that last battle. He get turned into stone himself. Top be awakened 500 years later. And learn that humanity was wiped out by another problem since long ago, and that the other races are surviving by living on floating islands, since the world itself cannot be lived in anymore. Some salvager, who go to the surface to get ancient technology (especially those famous holy swords) found him and "reanimated" him. As the last survivor of humanity, he'll find himself managing young girls used to fight the new menace. They are considered expandable, and can be ordered to detonate themselves if necessary to save the floating islands. That race has a particularity to not care about their own life, so they're fine with it. He cannot fight anymore by himself, since his body's inside are pretty much a mess. So he will try to bring them to want to live, and will try to rise the chance of them returning alive from battlefield. Rather than being on the battlefield, we see the MC as he's worrying about the girls that went in the battlefield, for example. So there is little to no action, that's not the point of the series."

Man that PV looks really good, the music and the scenes there shows this will have a lot of feelings and suffering.

This was in the official page.

Spoiler for spoiler:

I am now lending a helping hand for the girls’ ending.
This is an ephemeral and wistful story of girls called “fairy weapons” and a surviving “quasi-brave.”
In the world after the land is trampled down by unidentified monsters “beasts” and many tribes including human beings are destroyed, the tribes who have barely survived leave the land and are living in the flying archipelago called “regles-aile”
Willem-Kmetsch, waking up in the sky 500 years later, has lived like a hermit in despair, because he could not protect what he wanted to, or even worse, has survived alone when all others died. In the meantime, he encounters some girls through the job of weapon maintenance that he has started unexpectedly.
Chtholly-Nota-Seniorious is one of the fairy soldiers, a girl who can wield the strongest holy sword. In return, she is eventually doomed to lose her life. Having accepted such a fate, she starts to change her mind by encountering and becoming attracted to a young man Willem-Kmetsch. Nevertheless, she leaves for the battlefield, which is heart-wrenching.
What kind of ending will be waiting for this strong, but fragile “end-of-the-world heroine?”
Would it be alright if I wished to stay alive?
Would it be really alright if I had such a dream?

She's a first year grade schooler introduced under the name of okada hikari (岡田日花里). She appears at 16:20.
She will voice Elc, so it means that this anime will probably cover 5 volumes. I say "probably" because the first time Elc spoke is IIRC in volume 3.

Oh man that was an incredibly good start, I think the pacing is nice considering Wilhelm arrived at the orphanage this episode. Kutori is the best, just the best. The VA work was on point for this one but dunno if is just me but Kutori's VA isn't like what I imagined for her character.

As for the designs, when compared to the LN ones they are really close, I think the studio did a good job with them.

On a side note, I don't think my heart is ready, some other people can understand why I feel like that.

Oy oy, starting with that scene, those words and that song is completely against the rules, damn it. Is that an attempt to make cry the novel readers in the first 30sec or what~.

Damn, the insert songs are good. So they are using the Scarborough Fair song already, nice.

Gulick the nice guy, I like that character <3.

Panival o/
Hah, everything is written in French in the anime, interesting. There's problem with the spelling/grammar here and there tho .

The interaction Naigrat/Wilhelm are nicely done, good job to the seiyuu here.

It's the 4 chibitachi o/. Lol in the anime they're doing it twice? I don't mind at all x).

Compared to the insert song, the ending feels almost disappointing. It's not really, but the direct comparison makes it look almost out of place.
Ah, so the prologue of the novel is put after the ending, all right.

The setting gives an atmospheric feel and has a lot of potential for world building. We are introduced to Willem and Kutori pretty early in this episode. Kutori is a kind girl imo despite being a little strange.

Technical wise, it has smooth animation but the music is what stands out the most so far. There's is some mild comedy but for most parts, I think the show maintains a melancholic feel for storytelling so far. Good start.

Ohh my, that start makes me almost cry. As Zefyris says, it is unfair to LN readers!
That song... that was truly amazing, I love it.
But again, thing that annoys me a bit is names translation...
I must say, that I canīt wait for more! Also, I really like Kutori, and man, that first minutes of anime...geez it is so hard...
